What are Gross Sexual Imposition Penalties in Ohio

Gross sexual imposition can be charged as either a third- or fourth-degree felony. A conviction for a third-degree felony carries a maximum prison sentence of 18 months, while a fourth-degree felony is punishable by a prison term of up to five years.

If the offender touches—or causes someone else to touch—the genitalia of a victim who is less than 12 years of age with intent to abuse or arouse the sexual desire of any individual, makes sexual contact with a minor under 13 years old, or engages in sexual contact with another person by force, threats, coercion or the use of intoxicating substances, it is considered a third-degree felony. Any other type of gross sexual imposition is considered a fourth-degree felony.
